Sorry... But this is not scientifically true.
The scientific fact is: Sub Saharan Africans are the only race which does not have Neanderthal DNA.
That is a fact.
I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it does make them different and could by itself explain many things.
Race is not a ‘social construct’. A number of bird species have different identifiable ‘races’, and they are actually called ‘races’. Domesticated animals have a variety of same-species ‘breeds’ with different appearances and behaviors. The idea that humans who tend to endogamy don’t differentiate in physical and mental characteristics is scientifically absurd. There’s Orwellian language control being attempted here.
Is it racist now to say that a tom cat is different from a panther?
The Left would never buy this argument.
There are scientific findings that would dispute this article.
I don’t usually like to recommend a click-bait site, but this survey question was worth it for me.
“IS BLACK LIVES MATTER A RACIST ORGANIZATION?”
So far with 20,274 respondents, it’s:
96% Yes of course
03% No, of course not
01% It’s complicated
If you want...

Before you start a debate you must define your terms. Obviously not done. Don’t confuse the genetic reality (true) with the government classification of people by an ethnic tag. (false).
Not the same thing.
Meanwhile for forty bucks you can send a saliva sample in and have your ancestry calculated.
Hardly a “social construct”. You can measure it these days. Unlike the gay gene which doesn’t exist. I bet these Dan me “scientists” would say being gay is inherent.
There are no different dog breeds just dogs and all dogs are the same.
It is stupid assertions like these that fly in the face of reality that are causing so much of today’s social problems.
A better solution is to acknowledge that the races are different and that perhaps a friendly separation is a better answer. It is abundandantly clear that blacks and whites cannot peacefully coexist - ANYWHERE. Why keep denying what is so obvious? (There is a reason for it, it’s the significant difference in the AVERAGE IQ of the races)
Wishing away reality has never been a good formula for success.
Even Lincoln understood this but lacked the will to do it.

Exactly. The term has been redefined to destroy conversation,
When someone can seriously insist “all white males are racist, but I can’t be racist because of my race” then the term is useless.
If you don't want to call the convergence of these distinctions within certain gene pools race, fine - come up with another word. But denying them doesn't make them go away and opens the door to extremists to exploit them due to the lack of a reasoned response.
To say "there's no such thing as race" will make people think "do I believe you or my lying eyes?" Race is an often uncomfortable reality, but if the facts are acknowledged we will be better enabled to deal with it in an rational and equitable manner.
Yet, even at its core the idea of racial division, of race itself, is a myth. To sub-divide humanity based upon nothing more than varying levels of skin pigmentation is to rely upon the weakest of genetic markers.
The Myth Called ‘Race’ - This is the true myth, to pretend that race is a myth.
“When it comes to protein-encoding genes, mice are 85% similar to humans. For non-coding genes, it’s only about 50%. The National Human Genome Research Institute attributes this similarity to a shared ancestor about 80 million years ago.”

“Even bananas surprisingly still share about 60% of the same DNA as humans!”

I am sorry, but I don’t see how this is related
Much more to it than that.
If race is a “social construct” how come a forensic dentist can tell identify the race of a person by looking at a single tooth? How come a forensic anthropologist can identify the race of the person by examination of a skeleton? If race is a “social construct” how come organ tansplantation are by far more successful if done within the same race and even within the same ethnic group?
This article is pure Critical Race Theory 101, nothing more.
